One of the times it would have been convenient to know the gender is when it came to decorating. While I like the colors green and yellow I didn't want a room full of them. I had a hard time deciding how to decorate and now I can't even remember how I came to the idea that has now developed in the baby's room. I like it though. It was a labor of love and it is still in progress. The decorations may lead you to believe otherwise but no, I am not Native American, nor is my husband. But hey, who doesn't like a little culture and spice in their home?
One more thing...part of the inspiration for the decoration does have some meaning to it. A Bible verse was read to us at our wedding that we did not choose and it has stuck with us. The verse is about a quiver being full, which represents a family full of children. Those who know us know that we both want lots of kids. By "lots" I mean 4 or 5...maybe. Its something that first got us interested in the each other and it was spoke over us at our wedding. I feel so abundantly blessed. I don't have it made yet but I plan to put this verse up in the little one's room... "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver fully of them." Psalm 127: 3-5.
Here are some pictures of what we made for our babe's room. MountainMan helped with construction of the boards and I did the rest.
Handmade mobile.
Our little one will be the third generation to sleep through this crib. The balls were originally white but I painted them to match the room.
This was also a painting project...that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Hurry up little one! We want to meet you!! :)
